It's a nice and not so commmon piece. The average person may not find much difference between a 2.5" and a 3". My experience is many non-gun people would probabbly pick a 2" over both the 2.5 and 3" without knowing the handling characteristics and the advantage of the FLER. While it's worth more to me because of its rarity, I don't see the advantage over a 2.5" model 19 or a 3" k frame. None the less, congradulations on a wonderful k frame.
